    An Italian Royal Gull amphibious plane from the 1950's
    Garry H.

    The fourth aviation museum Mike and I went to. Smaller than the others, but just as interesting. Lots of older equipment, and some of it still works. Several of the planes still fly and go to air shows. After walking through the whole museum, we ended up talking to 2 guys working on a Douglas A-26 bomber. This plane still flies, and they were installing an engine that had been rebuilt. This plane had 14 fifty caliber machine guns! Eight guns in the nose of the plane, and 3 on each wing. Some serious firepower! See the picture. Mike and I have really enjoyed visiting these museums. A lot of history just waiting for YOU to come visit. Take the time to go see the planes that have protected our country through the years. You'll enjoy it!

    Parking and entrance is in the back if the building. Enter thru the gift shop. The staff was very well informed and glad to talk to you about their own experience as well as about what they have on display. A small but well organized museum.

    First time here visiting family. The young lady who took our payment and admitted us to the museum was extremely knowledgeable and helped provide I formation as we walked around the museum! We appreciated all of her knowledge about the flying banana specifically! My kids loves the aircraft and will have to come back for another visit when we are back in Texas!

    This picture was of the first hanger I saw

    What a fun day at the Vintage Flying Museum! I met an aerospace engineer that took her time to answer all my questions and shared so much information about airplanes, flying, history, etc. I learned about Bernoulli's principle, Euler angles and Newton's law of universal gravitation. Defiantly tip worthy (as they had tip boxed to fund the museum throughout the museum). Everyone I crossed paths with in both hangers was happy to be there and suggested we ask them anything. I really enjoyed my visit. If you haven't been, you're missing out.

    Great little place. My wife and I had a great time talking to some of the old timers and new times. They planes were amazing and I good time was had by all

    Beautiful Museum & Amazing Architecture…read more I really enjoyed visiting the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The staff and everyone we interacted with were very friendly, and the parking was awesome--easy and convenient. General admission is around $16, but if you visit on Friday, admission is free, which makes it an even better value. The location is also great because you can easily walk over to the Kimbell Art Museum and make a full day of exploring the Cultural District. For me, one of the biggest highlights is the building itself. Tadao Ando is one of my favorite architects, so getting to experience one of his buildings in person was really special. I've always looked at those iconic concrete Y-columns and thought of them almost like giant martini glasses holding up the precast concrete roof. The combination of concrete, glass, water, and natural light creates such a peaceful atmosphere. I really love the location, the architecture, and the overall experience. Definitely a museum I would recommend, especially if you appreciate modern architecture.

    We traveled to Dallas/Fort Worth area for our quick weekend trip just to visit one of Kimbell Art…read moreMuseum's exhibit, The Holy Sepulcher. Museum/Exhibit: Museum entry was free. The Holy Sepulcher exhibit cost $18. It featured small wooden fragments believed to be relics of the True Cross from Christ's crucifixion. Each item carries a rich history. As Christians, we enjoyed this exhibit very much. The other areas of the museum were more spacious. 2 notable works of art included Caravaggio's The Cardsharps and Michelangelo's The Torment of Saint Anthony, an early piece thought to be his very first painting. The entire museum was easy to walk through and explore at your own pace. Service: The staff was friendly and accommodating. Self-service luggage storage was a plus as it was very convenient. We had 2 carry-on luggages and a backpack. There is a big cafe inside with patio seating for lunchtime. Parking: Free in the parking lot. We took ride-share from DFW airport since we came here before checking in to our hotel back in Dallas.

    A Must update for a Must see! Extended until July 12... Hurry before it's gone…read more Once in a lifetime to see 60 objects from the Holy Sepulcher. I've made my feelings known about the world class museum that is The Kimball in previous reviews. You have either gone,want to go back ASAP or don't care. No middle ground here. I am posting this specifically for those who may want something to do in DFW in the next few days. Like,Once in a lifetime exhibition of Holy objects. You are guaranteed a memorable visit at the Kimball even if you don't make the Holy Sepulcher. However,this exhibit is beyond impressive. Go!

I think we would have loved to stay even longer. This museum is geared towards kids and I think it wouldn't be the best experience for children free adults, although the planetarium may still be enjoyable! We didn't not get to do that today. If you come, I'd plan to eat before. The pretzel bites were okay, but the hummus plate was way past expiration. Staff was kind and did refund me, though! Definitely a blast for the kiddos!!

Cleanliness of the entire facility is 10/10 and the staff is very friendly and patient. There are lots of interactive displays, and a plethora of history about various topics! There is also a dedicated kids area and café on the first floor. Upstairs you can sit in for a movie in the planetarium, and explore more aviation/space/science based. It's also inspiring to watch the live scientists work in an actual, functioning, lab! There's a plane simulation, and video interviews with military aviation specialists that you can sit and watch. We've been there 4 times, it's always a great way to spend an afternoon!

    I really hate to hear this museum is closing. It is such an amazing find. We spent HOURS here and…read moreit had a ton of people visiting it. It was definitely my favorite part of our trip to the area! I couldn't believe all the artifacts it possessed. Texas played a significant role in the American Civil War Secession: Texas joined the Confederacy in early 1861, a few weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it had replaced its governor, Sam Houston, who had refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Military: Nearly 90,000 Texans served in the military. Leaders of the Texas forces included legendary figures John Bell Hood, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bankhead Magruder, Patrick Cleburne, and Ben McCulloch. Battles: Texas forces fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Second Manassas, Wilson's Creek, The Wilderness, Vicksburg, Corinth, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Glorieta Pass, Pea Ridge, Gaine's Mill, Franklin, and Mansfield. Texas also defended its own coastline, repulsing Union invaders at Brownsville, Sabine Pass, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. Blockades: The Union blockaded Galveston, Houston, and other ports, making it difficult for farmers to export their crops. Closing: The surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy at Galveston on June 2, 1865 was, as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Sands of the United States Navy noted, "the closing act of the Great Rebellion." Just a few weeks later on June 19, Gen. Gordon Granger, commander of U.S. troops in Texas, arrived in Galveston and ended slavery in Texas by issuing an order that the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect in Texas later to become known as Juneteenth.

It is so extraordinary how many personal pieces and artillery/weapons are on display for us to experience. The very last exhibit included Victorian dresses on display! So fascinating to see in detail the stitching and different types of fabric that these dresses boasted. It also detailed the different bustles and corsets women used. Regarding the Museum, there is ample parking and restrooms are located near the entrance. The gift shop has cool items that are reasonably priced. It is unfortunate they will be closing in December 2023 though.
